© Creekside American Bistro

Creekside American Bistro is one of Sedona’s most popular gourmet restaurants, with spectacular views of Sedona’s famous Red Rocks and a menu that will make you forget about the view. Overlooking Oak Creek, the elegant wood-paneled dining room has beautiful light fixtures and a serene vibe, but it is the two outdoor patios, which open to the views, that attract most guests. Chef Mercer Mohr produces memorable meals starting with a breakfast that features such treats as the pork belly breakfast with two eggs, corncakes, coleslaw, apple sauce, and glazed pork belly. The menus change weekly and you can only hope to be there when the chef serves his curried lamb adobo with braised lamb shank, basmati rice, Cotija cheese, and the chef’s spicy adobo with red curry. Creekside has a full bar and is famous for its quirky, imaginative cocktails. Dogs are welcome on both patios.

They serve brunch, lunch, and dinner and you had better make early reservation for each. It is the place to see and be seen, but the great food and charming setting are the real reason this place is always packed. Your dog is welcome on the outside patio.

The place is busy and popular, partly because people love going out with their dogs, partly because of the great pub grub, and partly because of fun trivia, bingo nights, and other events.

© Pub Dog Colorado

Colorado’s only indoor-outdoor eatery where dogs can share a meal with their owners, Pub Dog Colorado in Colorado Springs is an interesting place with distinct areas: The dog-free restaurant, the indoor eatery where dogs are allowed but the owners have to pick up the food at the counter, a wonderful 1,300-square-foot patio area where guests can hang out and eat with their dogs, and a 3,000-square-foot fully fenced area where dogs are allowed to romp off-leash. The food includes pizzas, nachos, salads, and sandwiches and everything is served in large stainless-steel doggy bowls, whether it is for humans or dogs. The menu item names are all dog-centric and at times cross the line: Delicious nachos are piled high with cheese, chicken, homemade salsa, and avocado but come with the unfortunate name of the Dog Pile. A full bar offers classic and not so classic cocktails, a selection of craft and other beers, and a small list of wines by the glass.

Sunny Point Café is a tiny family-owned café in West Asheville famous for its menu full of everyone’s comfort food as well as a great outdoor patio where you can get your shrimps and grits and a cold beer under the wide umbrella. Your dog is welcome too. They take the concept of farm to table literally – they have their own on-site garden, so in the season your salad will come straight from the dirt. The menu is fairly large and the good old favorites get a bit of a delicious twist – your trout comes pecan crusted and served with grit cakes, spinach salad drenched in warm bacon dressing, blackened grilled tomatoes, and smoked corn jalapeno tartar sauce. Their brunches are legendary, and the Sunny Point Mega-Mosa and the hot Spicy Bloody Mary are a big reason.

A true seafood lovers’ heaven, the Crab Shack is Tybee Island’s favorite spot for loading on delicious, super-fresh crabs, fish, shrimps, and oysters in the fun, shabby, buzzing atmosphere of a former fish camp. By far the most popular dish is the Low Country Boil, with shrimps, sausage, corn, and potatoes. Most people prefer to sit outside, where they can enjoy the views of the marsh and bring their dogs.

Located in the NoDa Arts District, the Dog Bar is Charlotte’s favorite watering hole and hangout for those who hate leaving their dogs at home when they go socializing. It is one of the very few places where the dogs are allowed to roam free, both indoors and on the shaded outdoor patio covered with AstroTurf. It can get chaotic, especially if one of the doggy guests is celebrating a birthday. The bar is fully stocked with a range of beers, wine, and hard liquor and the bartender has great fun mixing innovative cocktails. The dog owners pay a membership fee and have to prove that their dog has been vaccinated. You do not have to have a dog to enjoy the fun atmosphere in the Dog Bar. In fact, it is great place to come and play with dogs if you are thinking of getting one.
